Sorry. I've been hammering down on some wine. Trying to write a good scholarship essay.

Helps get you a number...then you can click on the link just below it to see what it says is your "daily calorie needs" to maintain your weight. Then you can see how much you need to eat in order to gain or lose.

 

just got back from the track

1 mile warm up

5 miles of 100m walk 100m progressive sprints

10 burpees inbetween sprints
30 burpees to finish

death

 

maybe my math is wrong but did i add up 430 burpees? ten for every 200m in a 8000 meeter run? I'm sorry no one deserves that lol

how long did that whole thing take too haha that sounds like a pretty long workout, what you training for?

 

Im not going to lie.

I skipped burpee sets here and there

I was there for a few hours, took some breaks

but good god, spent like a half hour trying to dry off before getting into my truck

stocking up on protein tonight, but I gained a little weight in vegas I gotta burn off..


in two weeks I have the spartan beast/super spartan back to back so it's crunch time

 

Last night, the lady wanted to go eat, so we went to a place called Southern Pit BBQ. Anyone from the South knows that BBQ is a big fucking deal; it must be slow-cooked and is one of, if not the most widely critiqued foods in the South. Well, this place gets a two thumbs up from me. They had an all-you-can-eat pork BBQ plate for $11....I opted out and just got the single serving, with cole slaw, brunswick stew, and cornbread. Good God, it was amazing. Here's a pic of the meal I got (stolen from their website):



I just sat and stared at the wall afterwards because I was so full. Anyone who ever makes their way through Griffin, GA definitely needs to check this place out...although, it's still not as good as Fresh Air BBQ in my hometown of Butts Co:





If any of you bastards ever make it through middle GA one day, I'll take you on a bulker's paradise tour of all the greatest artery-clogging Southern food establishments in the land.

Anyway, back to the topic of fitness, yesterday's deadlifts are making my lower-back screeeeeeeam today; it's never been this sore...the good kind of sore. I think it was the final set of 6 @ 385 that did it. I usually shy away from heavier weight on deeds unless I'm maxing out, but I went heavier yesterday and man, did it do some fucking muscle-tearing!

A friend and I have a bet to see who can join the 1000 lb club first and I'm only ~25 lbs away, and I guess the only way to get those deads higher is to go heavier more often. Squatting is DEFINITELY my weakest of the three lifts, although I've been focusing on destroying legs for the past few months. Now that I'm bulking and can actually start growth again, I'm hoping to see some progress in all 3 lifts.

Squat: 275
Dead: 405 (I know a lot of pople use the powerclean, rather than deadlifts for the 1000 club, but we're using deadlifts)
Bench: 295

Total: 975

Granted, these are my pre-cutting #'s, so it's gonna take some time to get back up to them. Any of you die-hard squatters (Eric, Kona, Gage, whoever else...) got any advice to get these squatting #'s up? Any Crossfit-related advice will be ignored and ridiculed

As far as bench and deadlifts go, when bulking, those #'s shoot up fast, but my squatting fucking blowz. A lot of the leg stuff I've been trying new has been on my cut, so I'm not going to see any growth, but, when bulk, my legs grow. My legs are strong and definitely do NOT get ignored. I can hack squat, leg press, deadlift, etc. with the best of them, but my squatting #'s are lower than I'd like

 

Oh god, on my way to my bachelor party and stopped at McDonalds. Hot cakes breakfast was 1240 calories in one meal. I may gain an extra 10 lbs this weekend alone. Haha

 

I don't always do crossfit, but when I do, It's called bossfit.

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 of 255lb deads and 205 floor press.
